Woodbridge, Va. –– Alice Everette was remembered Sunday night at the same place she was killed.
Nearly 100 mourners gathered for a candlelight vigil in the parking lot of the Chick-fil-A restaurant on Prince William Parkway in Woodbridge to remember a woman whom friends called a kind and loving mother.
“I strive to be the type of mother she was, and you can see how she loved and cared for her kids,” said Tammy Melvin. “On that day we lost our friend, and those girls lost their mother. But I think Heaven gained an angel because I know that’s where she went.”
Everette was shot to death Thursday while inside her car.
Many said it was a part of her morning routine to frequent the fast food establishment, and said her estranged husband knew it.
He, 52-year-old Daniel Everett, is charged with murder in her death and was held without bond, said a Prince William police spokesman.
Many who came to remember Everette were parents and children from the same private school in Woodbridge in which her three daughters, ages 4, 8 and 12, have all been enrolled. The oldest daughter just left the school for a new Catholic school, family friends say.
The children spoke of how nice Everette was to them and how much they enjoyed plying with her daughters.
Adults with tissues in hand said it will be her children that will suffer the most in this traffic loss.
“Her three beautiful children – I pray for them. She was such a sweet lady. Why did this have to happen?” asked Lisa Xnantus
Residents in Everette’s Dumfries neighborhood said she and her husband were having marital problems. According to police, Daniel Everette was not living with the victim but rather at an address in Fairfax County.
